Specialty: Biology of marine resources
Hobby: fishing, listening to classical music, keeping goldfish, playing baseball
Research theme: Establishment of techniques for the quantitative estimation of marine fish biomass using environmental DNA
Environmental DNA (eDNA) is defined as DNA released from organisms to the environment. Recently, eDNA is preliminarily used for species identification and biomass estimation for aquatic organisms in ponds and lakes. On the other hand, there are few applications of eDNA to marine fish mainly because of the greater spatiotemporal dynamics of fish movement and water current in seas. To establish techniques for the quantitative estimation of marine fish biomass using environmental DNA, I conduct field sampling and mesocosm experiments in the Tango and Maizuru Bays.
